CHUCK WAGON FESTIVAL Throw on your cowboy boots and head over to the annual Chuck Wagon Festival at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. This two-day event is a family favorite. With a unique lineup of traditional cowboy food, live entertainment and engaging activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Kids will especially love the petting zoo, archery and rope- making demonstrations. OKLAHOMA REGATTA FESTIVAL Make a splash at the Oklahoma Regatta Festival. The three-day Riversport event is filled with family fun, food trucks, fireworks and more. Whether you’re racing down the Oklahoma River or watching from the sidelines, you’re sure to experience the inevitable rush of adrenaline that always accompanies lively competition. AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART Get ready for three days of non-stop shopping and fun at An Affair of the Heart. This annual event occurs three times a year, so you never have to worry about missing out. An Affair of the Heart is the largest arts, crafts and boutique show in Oklahoma. Both local and non-local vendors set up booths throughout the venue filled with unique, and often handmade, merchandise. ASIAN NIGHT MARKET Take a trip to the Asian District for two nights of grand celebration. The Asian Night Market Festival is a chance to experience rich, Asian culture in the form of food, fashion and entertainment right here in Oklahoma City. Support local businesses as you learn more about one of OKC’s diverse districts. Don’t eat too much at the food trucks because you won’t want to miss the annual hot wings eating contest.

FIESTAS DE LAS AMERICAS The Fiestas de las Americas Parade and Street Festival brings the community together to embrace Hispanic culture. Every year, Historic Capitol Hill is filled with beautiful art, Spanish cuisine and Artisan pop-up shops. Cultural clubs, organizations and businesses throughout the OKC metro are invited to participate in the Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. MEMORIAL MARATHON The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is an annual event held in honor of those who were forever changed by the tragedy of the Oklahoma City bombing nearly three decades ago. The multi-day event includes several different racing categories for runners of all ages and abilities. Whether you choose to run the race or cheer from the sidelines, the mission of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon remains the same: Remember. OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR If you find yourself in Oklahoma City in September, the Oklahoma State Fair is a must-do (and must-eat) event. From family entertainment, horse shows and educational exhibits to all the delicious fried treats in between, enjoy this "best of the best" showcase of our state's agriculture, manufacturing and commerce at the OKC Fairgrounds. STOCKYARDS STAMPEDE Celebrate Western heritage like a local at the Stockyards Stampede. This annual event kicks off each year with a “stampede” of Oklahoma Longhorn Steer and is followed by an authentic Chuck Wagon camp. Guests can anticipate traditional foods, live music, a petting zoo and other Western- themed activities.
